Extended thread lug nuts are specialized lug nuts designed to provide additional thread engagement when mounting wheels on vehicles with aftermarket or custom wheel applications. They feature longer threads compared to standard lug nuts, allowing them to securely fasten the wheel to the vehicle's hub. Extended thread lug nuts are commonly used when installing thicker wheel spacers, which push the wheel away from the hub, requiring longer threads to ensure proper engagement. These lug nuts are typically made of high-strength steel or aluminum to withstand the load & stress generated during driving. It is crucial to choose lug nuts with the correct thread pitch & seat type to match the wheel & hub specifications. Proper installation is essential, including tightening the lug nuts to the manufacturer's recommended torque using a torque wrench. Extended thread lug nuts provide a reliable & safe solution for achieving proper wheel fitment when using wheel spacers or other wheel modifications.
